2022-23 Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) Report
INTRODUCTION
The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Survey (EADA) was designed to make current and prospective students and current and prospective student-athletes aware of an institution of high education’s commitment to providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and women students. The EADA requires the disclosure of information about varsity teams and the financial resources and personnel that the school dedicates to those teams.
The EADA requires any coeducational institution of higher education that participates in Title IV, the federal student aid program, and has an intercollegiate athletics program, to comply wit the EADA by preparing an annual report, officially called The Report on Athletic Program Participation Rates and Financial Support Data; more commonly known as the EADA Report. The EDA Report must be published by October 15 each year and must be made available upon request to students, prospective student-athletes, and the public.
For Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC), this is a new compliance obligation. In fall 2022, OTC hosted its inaugural tryouts for males and females with its first and only varsity athletic opportunity, esports. The program, though successful, is in its early stages.
As required by law, this report is maintained on OTC’s publicly accessible webpage for current and prospective students.
